People that bonk dollies because they "eat eggs and smolts" are from the old school on fish ecology. These are the same people who's grandfather tried to kill an Orca Whale because they "eat people."

Everything in a river has a purpose, it took me along time to figure it out also, but we all need to realize if the steelhead populations drop to mismanagent/habitat there is no reason to take it out on the dollies.
